(JNS) The American Israel Public Affairs Committee—the most powerful pro-Israel lobbying group in the United States—has come out in support of companion congressional bills to enact into law President Donald Trump’s official recognition in March of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

Trump’s recognition was done through an executive order, so a future president could undo the action. A bill passed into law would set the policy in stone until legislation to undo it passes and becomes law. The Senate then introduced a measure in February to establish that it shall be the policy of the United States to recognize Israel’s sovereignty over the Golan Heights.

“We thank @realDonaldTrump for taking the historic step of officially recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the Golan. This important action sends a powerful message that America stands with Israel as it faces critical security challenges on its northern border,” tweeted AIPAC after the official move.

Netanyahu and the overwhelming majority of the Israeli government supported the move with the prime minister at the White House as the president signed the executive order to make the recognition official policy, calling it a “historic justice” and a “diplomatic victory.”
